Park Ji-hoon will play a school student in Weak Hero
On February 16, a source from the actor’s agency, Maroo Entertainment, revealed,
“Park Ji Hoon has been cast as the lead of wavve’s original drama ‘Weak Hero,’ which is slated to air in the second half of this year.”
Weak Hero is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, co-created by SEOPASS and RAZEN, aka Kim Jin-Seok. The action drama is set in a school and follows Yeon Se-eun, the ideal student, among the top 1 percent of his class.
Although Yeon Si-eun may appear weak, when faced with violence both inside and outside the school premises, he must bring out the fighter within to protect those around him.
Park Ji-hoon will reportedly take on the mantle of Yeon Si-eun. Despite his small side, the genius student uses his wits to win the battle against the school bullies.
This is not the actor's first time in a high school drama. Park Ji-hoon previously played a high school student, Gong Joo-young, in the web series Love Revolution on KakaoTV.
The singer-actor sang the OSTs for both Love Revolution and At a Distance, Spring Is Green. Many fans are expecting him to do the same for the upcoming drama.
Weak Hero will start filming as soon as the casting is over and is expected to premiere in the second half of 2022.
